• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    How to remove the upper side panel where the vents are attached

    I know I read a thread where someone asked about removing the side panel once the new vents are installed, but I cannot find the thread again. My recall was done today and I want to look under the hood to see what is different. With my Vertika vents, all one had to do was remove the side panel...

    grill and block off plate

    I apologize if this has been discussed, but I can't find the info. Has anyone purchased the right hand grill and block off plate (from the 14 and 15 RTS) to install on the 13 RTS. That would eliminate the right foot heat (I know some of you make fun of it and don't believe it is a problem, but...

    What recall?

    I stopped by the dealer where I bought my 13 RTS SE5 today to ask if they had any info about the fix for the heat. I was told that the service manager and technician were no longer there. But, I asked at the service desk if they had any info about the recall for my 13 RTS. The response was...

    South Carolina Laser Alignment

    I just got an email from my dealer, Velocity Power Sports in Ladsen, SC. They now have the True Laser Track alignment system. Unfortunately, for me, I have already ridden 450 miles to have Lamont do the alignment. But, for those in South Carolina, it is good news.

    Rough running Spyder after the service bulletin was performed

    I had the service bulletin work done on my 2013 RTS SE5 a few days ago. I rode the 70 miles home with no problems. After I got home the service manager called to make sure everything was ok. I told him everything was just fine. However, I thought it was unusual that he called, because he had...

    How does this fitting work

    The attached picture is the fitting where the fuel line is attached to the gas tank. It is supposed to be a quick connect fitting. Does anyone know how this think works? I need to disconnect the line from the tank.

    Question for those who have done the 14,000 mile service

    I am approaching the 14,000 mile service on my 2013 RTS SE5. The service manager at my dealer says the cost is about $2,000.:yikes: He says the big ticket items are the valve check and replacing the bearing seals and wear sleeves of the rear axle. I understand that the valve clearance...

    2014 RTS SE5 Sound

    I went to my dealer today to check out the new 2014 RTS SE5. They had a demo and I thought I might ride it. I started it up.:roflblack: I immediately decided it was not for me. One of the reasons I ride is that I like the sound of a motorcycle engine. My wife said it first, but I agree, it...

    RTS trailer hitch

    I'm interested in a hitch for my 2013 RTS SE5. I don't have a trailer and probably never will, but I'm interested in other accessories to mount on the hitch (golf club carrier, etc.). So, I do not need the wiring harness. I understand that the BRP hitch is what I need. However, paying $599...

    A Arm Bushing Bad

    I now have 11,500 miles on my 2013 RTS SE5. While checking air pressure in my tires, I rested my hand on the left front fender as I was kneeling down. I was surprised when it moved. I checked the right one and it did not move. So, down to the dealer I went to get it checked out. It turns...

    For Lamont (and anyone else interested): Zumo 550 problem solved

    My Zumo 550 died on the way to Lamont's to get aligned. I stopped and when I restarted the Spyder, the unit just would not power on. It also would not power on when disconnected from the Spyder. I called Garmin and they had me remove the battery pack, and then connect it to the computer with...

    Air pressure for aftermarket (car) tires.

    I know I have seen this discussed, but for the life of me, I can't find the message thread. I just installed a Kuhmo rear tire and 2 Federal front tires. The dealer put 19.5 psi in the front tires and 33 psi in the rear tire. Can someone who has installed aftermarket tires tell me what you...

    Kumho 225/50 R15

    I have purchased a Kumho 225/50 R15 for my rear tire (2013 RTS SE5). The stock tire is a Kenda 225/50 R15, so it should fit, right? When it arrived, the tire is approximately an inch wider than the stock tire. Why would there be a difference in width when they are both the same size? Will it...

    Who is actually using a 165/55 R15 car tire? What brand & where to get them?

    I'm trying to find front tires for my 2013 RTS SE5. I've read all the messages on the board about using car tires and am not interested in discussing that issue. I'd appreciate it if someone who is actually using a car tire size 165/55 R15 could tell me what brand you have and where I might...

    Recall fix was performed today---Melting Evap Canister!!! Please read!!

    My recall service was done today. The MC cap was fine, but the evap canister had started to melt. :shocked: The dealer did not have one, so they robbed one from a new Spyder and installed it on mine. I'll be performing a canisterectomy tomorrow. I had already considered doing it. To me...

    What is the fix for the 2013 RT master cylinder problem?

    I know it is early and that probably no one has actually had the fix performed yet. But, does anyone actually know what the fix will involve? I thought perhaps one of you Canadians might have some insight through your dealer or from the notice you received from BRP. I've looked at my MC, and...
